An ultrasound diagnostic system is disclosed. The ultrasound diagnostic system allows an examiner and an examinee to view a diagnosis result on different screens through a single display unit by adjusting viewing angles depending on positions of the examiner and the examinee, thereby providing a screen for the current diagnosis status to the examinee without a separate monitor for the examinee and providing an optimized screen for diagnosis to the examiner.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. An ultrasound diagnostic system comprising: an ultrasound diagnostic unit; a display comprising a plurality of barrier layers overlapping each other; and a switch configured to selectively activate at least one of the plurality of barrier layers in response to selected viewing angles, wherein at least a barrier layer among the plurality of barrier layers comprises a diagonal lattice-shaped barrier layer, with the diagonal being relative to a length and a width of the layer, wherein at least one of the remaining barrier layers among the plurality of barrier layers comprises a lattice-shape which is not diagonal, wherein the selected viewing angles depend on positions of a plurality of viewers relative to the display, and wherein the display displays different images to the plurality of viewers depending on the positions of the plurality of viewers.
2. The ultrasound diagnostic system according to claim 1 , wherein the barrier layers are barrier layers of a parallax barrier type.
3. The ultrasound diagnostic system according to claim 1 , wherein the barrier layers further comprise at least a longitudinal lattice-shaped barrier layer and a transverse lattice-shaped barrier layer.
